Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 38: Collapse, Collapse

Nobody cared about the duel club anymore, Ivan, Ron, Hermione pulled Harry out of the auditorium and Colin and Ginny rushed to follow.

People backed off to both sides as if they were afraid of getting into something.

Harry was confused, and he had no idea what was going on, nor did anyone else explain, but dragged him all the way to the empty Gryffindor Public Lounge.

Then Ron pushed Harry into an armchair and said, "Why didn't you tell us you were a snake cavity? ”

“What am I?” Harry asked in surprise.

“Snake cavity! You can talk to snakes! ”

“I know." Harry said, "I mean, this is the second time I've done this. One time in the zoo, I accidentally released a python, and the python jumped at my cousin Daryl, which was a long story, but I bet a lot of people here could do it. ”

“Oh, they can't,” Ron wrinkled his nose, "that's not a rare skill, Harry. ”

“That's right, it's bad!” Ginny, sitting next to Evan, looked pale and added.

“What's so bad?” Harry, raise your voice. "What's wrong with everyone? Listen, if I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin..."

“Oh, is that what you said to him? ”

“Ron, what do you mean, you were there. You, Evan, Hermione, Colin, Ginny, you're all here. You should have heard me. ”

“Actually, I only hear you hissing.” Colin swallowed up, “I don't know what that means, but I feel it's not normal. ”

“That's a snake cavity, Colin!” Ron explains, "is the language of snakes. ”

“You say I speak snake language?!” Harry's eyes were wide open.

“That's right, no one understands. Anything you say is possible. No wonder Justin was terrified, listening to you, as if you were instigating the snake, and the scene was really creepy. ”

“Exactly!” Colin and Ginny nodded.

Harry stared at them, “But I didn't realize how I could speak another language without knowing it! ”

Ron shook his head and looked heavy.

Colin and Ginny's face filled with horror, Hermione sat silent, she took a book out of the stack, flickered through it, and Ivan bowed his head to contemplation, not knowing what to think. The atmosphere grew heavy, as if someone were dead.

“Well, will you tell me what's wrong with stopping an ugly serpent from biting Jia Xintin's head off!” Harry suddenly shouted, "As long as Justin didn't join the headless, what does it matter what I do? ”

“It matters!” Hermione finally spoke, and she turned the book in front of Harry and put it on a page, "Look at this. Talking to a snake is Salazar Slytherin's famous domain, the first proven serpent cavity in history. So the Slytherin College symbol is a snake. ”

Harry opened his mouth and looked at the book in front of him in surprise.

“Exactly, Harry.” Ron went on to say, "Now, the whole school will think you're his great-great-great-grandson or something, especially now that the secret room has been opened, which is bad. ”

“But I'm not. It can't be the Chamber I opened.” There is an unexplainable panic in Harry's tone.

“I believe you, Harry!” Ginny said with a crying voice.

“We all believe you, but you'll find it hard to prove it.” Hermione said calmly, "Salazar Slytherin lived about a thousand years ago, and from everything we know, you are most likely his heir. ”

“This is ridiculous, that's why everyone else was hiding from me just now. ”

Harry stood up, looked at Evan, who had never spoken, and said with one last glimmer of hope, "Evan, you're not going to think I'm Slytherin's heir or go open a secret room or anything like that, are you? ”

“Of course not, I'm not surprised that you speak snake language. ”

Ivan said, "Relax, Harry! Although the serpentine cavity is a very rare gift, it is not unique and there are many wizards who are able to do so in addition to Slytherin and his descendants. I can say a few now, if I have to. ”

Ivan's words reassured Harry a lot, but he didn't say a word about being found to possess the talent of a serpent cavity, with the exception of Salazar Slytherin himself, who ended up being evil dark wizards, without exception.

“In fact, compared to this, I'd rather know what kind of spell Ron just attacked me with.” Ivan's eyes turned to Ron standing by.

“What, what! ”

Ron's face turned red, "I've just said, it's just a weapon other than yours, and it's probably my wand that's mutating it. ”

“Come on, Ron!” Ivan waved impatiently, "that's what I fooled Snape about. If a broken wand could turn a weapons spell into deep black magic, the Dark Wizard would be all over the street. ”

“What did you say?!” Hermione said in surprise, "Black magic?! ”

“Yes, that spell is absolutely black magic, which is why Snape asks Ron if he's ever been to a book in the forbidden library, and he must know something. ”

“But I didn't...” Ron panicked explaining.

“Who knows!” Ivan stared at Ron, “maybe that wasn't you. ”

“Not me?” Ron's lost again and again, and he comes up furiously, "Evan, what do you mean? That's funny. What do you think I am, mixed in like Ron with compound soup? ”

He made a stinging laugh, Colin and Ginny shrunk in the sofa scared, and Harry and Hermione looked confused and wondered what Ivan meant.

“I don't think Ron could have been impersonated.” Hermione hesitated to say, "Evan, there's been so much going on lately that you might be under too much pressure. ”

“That's right, that's not funny at all.” Harry shook his head, "Is today Fool's Day, when I was thought to be Slytherin's heir for saving Justin, and Ron is now suddenly an evil black wizard? ”

“But it's very easy for black wizards to control a person's thoughts. ”

“What the hell do you mean?!” Ron shouted loudly.

“Where were you the day of Halloween, the first attack?” Ivan asked coldly.

“I'm in the fucking bathroom, apologizing to the weeping peach golden lady! ”

“Then nobody proves it!” The corner of Ivan's mouth curved slightly, "where were you the second time you attacked? ”

“Of course I was with Percy in the school infirmary because your ridiculous Ironclad spell left my brother's left hand bone missing. ”

“No, you're not there! ”

Ivan shook his head, “Honestly, Ron, shortly after we left, you left the school hospital, and nobody knew where you were going. ”

“But what does it matter? Everybody's gone!” Ron seemed a little hysterical, "if anyone who wasn't with you was suspected at the time of the attack, the entire school was inherited by Slytherin. ”

“But only you can cast a complete corrosion spell with that broken wand.” Ivan narrowed his eyes, "isn't it? ”
